“The world is facing many crises, ranging from geopolitical conflicts to soaring poverty levels and the escalating impacts of climate change. These challenges can only be addressed by solutions that empower women. By investing in women, we can spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, and more equal world for all.” Happy Women’s Day to all Ladies 💜

A-Level students at 7Hills regularly meet with invited guest speakers to gather inspiration for their studies and career path.

The first guest speaker in this new year was Mr. Isharaza, Program Director at Africa Retreat Center (https://www.africaretreat.org/) who talked to our students about his career but also counseled them about the danger of drugs and alcohol consumption/abuse.

The effects of addiction are rarely limited to the person with the addiction. Everyone around him or her is affected in some way. Family members are often forced to pick up the slack, make excuses for his or her behavior, and potentially endure abuse.

Many times when family & friends try to"help"people with alcohol use disorders,they are actually making it easier for them to continue in the progression of the disease.This is called enabling.Allowing the individual to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Our mental health is made up of our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing, and so it’s key to our overall ability to function that we are able to recognise what keeps us well. Some ways to improve mental health can include: 👇

Caring for your mental health can be a struggle year-round, but some find the holidays especially triggering. These tips and tricks will help you stay grounded during this season and beyond.

Even in these challenging times, Christmas shopping shouldn’t come at the cost of mental health or financial security. If you feel overwhelmed, these strategies can help you stay more organised and balance practicality with pleasure.

Factors that can contribute to stress during adolescence include exposure to adversity, pressure to conform with peers and exploration of identity.

Child mental health is the complete well-being and optimal development of a child in the emotional, behavioral, social, and cognitive domains.

Spending time with children on weekends and holidays is the best stress reliever. It helps in connecting with your children and also is a great bonding time.

Our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) provide a range of services to children, adolescents and their families with a range of difficulties that seriously impact on their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Diagnosing drug addiction (substance use disorder)requires a thorough screening &assessment by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Although there's no cure,treatment options can help you overcome an addiction and stay drug-free.

Enabling happens when someone supports a person’s addiction through their thoughts or behaviors. Are you an enabler?

This year's slogan "Equalize" urges each of us to address the inequalities holding back progress in ending AIDS.
